50 Amp Fuse Strip (Metal Strap Fuse) Protect your vehicle’s high-draw electrical circuits with this 50 Amp Fuse Strip. Unlike standard plastic blade fuses, these metal "strap" fuses are designed to handle significant electrical loads and are typically found in the primary power distribution block. They act as a critical fail-safe for systems like the glow plug circuit, cooling fans, or the secondary air pump, melting away to break the circuit if a major electrical surge or short occurs. Key Features: High-Amperage Protection: Rated at 50 amps to safeguard heavy-duty electrical components from overcurrent damage. O.E. Replacement: Manufactured to exact factory specifications for thickness and conductivity, ensuring the fuse blows only when the safety threshold is exceeded. Vibration Resistant: The solid metal strip design is more resistant to the vibrations found in the engine bay compared to traditional glass or plastic fuses. Corrosion Resistant: Built from high-quality alloy to maintain a strong electrical connection even in the harsh environment of the battery box or under-hood fuse panel. Specifications: Part Number: N10424903 Amperage: 50A Material: Zinc/Metal Alloy Location: Battery-mounted fuse box or under-hood power distribution block Sold As: Individually Vehicle Application & Fitment This fuse is widely used across the water-cooled VW and Audi lineup, typically located on top of the battery or in the main engine bay fuse panel: Vehicle Model Years VW Beetle (New Beetle) 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 VW Golf (Mk4 & Mk5) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 VW Jetta (Mk4 & Mk5) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 VW EuroVan 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003 Audi TT 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 Tech Tip: If you find this fuse has blown, it is often a sign that a high-load component like a cooling fan or a glow plug has an internal short. Always inspect the plastic fuse holder for signs of melting or heat damage, as loose mounting nuts can create high resistance and heat, even if the fuse itself hasn't blown. 39050
